Current Goal

PLEASE KEEP THIS GEOCOIN MOVING!!  It doesn't much care where it goes, as long as it gets there   We own this, but have sent it out into the world so that others can enjoy it, collect its icon and then pass it on to another cache.  If you can post a photo of it on its travels, that would be great   Discoveries are always welcome. Thanks to all who help our geocoins and TBs!

About This Item

The geocoin

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the day, although not necessarily the day of either the earliest sunrise or the latest sunset.  Rather, it is the day when there is the longest gap between sunrise and sunset.  In Britain and much of Northern Europe, this is called Midsummer's Day,  Well, most of the time: it can vary by a couple of days.  St. John the Baptist is traditionally held to have been born on June 24th, so the two days are frequently celebrated together, hence the significance of various "St. John's Day" or "St. John's Eve" festivities that also celebrate the beginning of Summer.  Mussorgsky's famous tone poem "A Night on the Bald Mountain" actually takes place on St. John's Eve, not on All Hallow's Eve (Hallowe'en) as many non-Russians believe.  Stonehenge (which is depicted on the back of this coin) has been determined to help pinpoint the Summer Solstice, among other purposes.

Retrieve It from a Cache 11/20/2017 chaosmanor retrieved it from Capt'n Elvira California   Visit Log

This was dropped into what looks to be quite an interesting cache in the East Bay of California. Six months later, a couple of dozen people have Found that cache, but not a single one mentions this geocoin or the other travelers logged in it. In actual fact, the record on this is a bit quirelly, and we wonder if it ever was dropped off here.

Be all that as it may, it isn't where the record says it should be, so we are retrieving this for burial in an archived cache of ours, and hope that it turns up, some day. And here's the obligatory "rant" for situations like this...

WE HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS JUST BEING VERY SLOW TO LOG THIS, OR THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT, OR MAYBE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY WAS; IF THIS IS THE CASE, PLEASE RETRIEVE IT, AND THEN DROP IT INTO ANOTHER CACHE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU!

HOWEVER...

IF YOU TOOK THIS GEOCOIN WITH NO INTENTION OF MOVING IT ALONG, YOU ARE A THIEF!! WE OWN THIS GEOCOIN; WE SENT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY AND TO MOVE ALONG. YOU CANNOT SELL IT OR ADOPT IT; YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW IT TO OTHERS WITHOUT RISKING THEM FINDING OUT THAT YOU ARE A PETTY CRIMINAL. WE HOPE THAT YOU GET A CONSCIENCE AND DROP THIS INTO A CACHE SOON.

IF YOU SEE THIS GEOCOIN IN THE COLLECTION OF A CACHER OTHER THAN US, BE AWARE THAT IT IS STOLEN PROPERTY.

NOT found in Capt'n Elvira 19-Nov-2017 16:00L.

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this trackable is definitely not present in the cache "Capt'n Elvira" (GC5CZTZ). I have no idea where it might be. I hope it turns up someday.
